Donald Trump: White House Correspondents' Dinner 'Inappropriate' (VIDEO)

The morning after Donald Trump found himself a prime target for jokes in speeches delivered by President Barack Obama and comedian Seth Meyers at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night, the potential presidential contender reacted to the shots taken at him during a phone interview on "Fox and Friends."

"Well, I really understood what I was getting into, I didn't know that I'd be virtually the sole focus," he said. "But I was certainly in a certain way having a good time listening."

Nevertheless, the billionaire and potential candidate said he found the annual event to be “inappropriate in certain respects." And, despite Meyers drawing laughs and positive reviews with his remarks, Trump said he thought "his delivery frankly was not good," calling the "Saturday Night Live" star a "stutterer."

The AP relays some of the jokes made at Trump's expense on Saturday night:

The president said Trump has shown the acumen of a future president, from firing Gary Busey on a recent episode of "Celebrity Apprentice" to focusing so much time on conspiracy theories about Obama's birthplace.

After a week when Obama released his long-form Hawaii birth certificate, he said Trump could now focus on the serious issues, from whether the moon landing actually happened to "where are Biggie and Tupac?"

"No one is prouder to put this birth certificate matter to rest than 'the Donald,'" Obama said, referring to Trump's claims the same day that he was responsible for solving the issue.

For Trump's decision to fire actor Busey instead of rock singer Meat Loaf from his TV show earlier this month, Obama quipped: "These are the types of decisions that would keep me up at night. Well handled, sir."

Trump chuckled at some of the earlier jokes, but was clearly less amused as comedian Seth Meyers picked up where Obama left off.

"Donald Trump often talks about running as a Republican, which is surprising," said the Saturday Night Live actor, entrusted with providing some of the comedy for the evening. "I just assumed he was running as a joke."

Trump stared icily at Meyers as he continued to criticize the real estate tycoon.

"I had no idea it would be to that extent, where you know, it was just joke after joke after joke," Trump said on Sunday morning. "It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about?"

In a twist of irony, Trump told ABC News upon arriving to the White House Correspondents' Dinner that he didn't anticipate the president would address him in his speech.

The Jokester has left the room. Finally. Trump is no match for the Prez.

Trump can sure dish it out, but he can't take it.

Welcome to the world of Presidential politics, Donny. Of course, if you'd quit making asinine statements comedians might leave you alone. And others might take you a little more seriously. I doubt it, but you could give it a shot and see what happens.

I felt the same way about trump basing his entire campaign on the bc nonsense. Is there anything else he would talk about? That blew up in his face and after harping on it for so long, now he says 'can we change the subject?'. Yeah the rest of the world wanted to change the subject a long time ago, but trump wouldn't.

So, Trump....how's that speculation you have about the President's education working out for ya??
I noticed we don't hear much about that anymore from you. Nothing like a nice roast!
Here's a tip for ya, in case you haven't figured this out on your own yet???....don't try to match wits with our President you are completely unarmed.

"It was almost like, is there anyone else they could talk about?"

Well, Mr Trump...as you were standing behind your podium bloviating about the Presidents birth certificate and how unqualifed he was to get into the Ivy-league institutions he graduated with honors from...I was thinking the same thing.

What a schmuck.

Awe, the poor widdle man got his feelings hurted. I'm pretty sure he was happy to be the center of attention, even if he was the butt of the jokes.

OK - just checking back to see the state of HP.  I see the state is fully moderated and boring.  Outta here.

The biggest laugh of the night was when after roasting Trump a little, the President said (seriously) that Trump was qualified to be president.

That straight line got gales of laughter from the audience (who was composed of far more savy people than the birthers who adore Trump)

Trump must have been humiliated...and boy did he deserve it.

Our President got a little of his own back that night in a very classy and FUNNY way.

Reminds me of some bathroom graffiti I saw once in front of a urinal 'What are you looking here for? The joke is in your hand.' In Donald's case, the biggest joke is in the mirror.

so true.  That's why the straight line about Trump being "qualified to be president" got the biggest laugh of the evening.

Trump was trounced, humiliated and I was cheering for our President.  Finally getting a little of his own back, but in a classy, funny way.

As a great fan of the story beneath the story, I can say, Kyle, that you have 'nailed it.' Trump is so archetypal that it is hard to know whether to laugh or cry when he does what he does as only the Trumpster can. Thanks for speaking up, on this level, that causes reflection. I'm one of your proud fans, with pleasure. A great weekend your way, Cara
